Since they're v0, they'd have to explicitly know about the pass-by-ref
status of float4.
Did this patch include a compile-time choice of whether things could
remain pass-by-ref? I rather imagine that some people out there will
prefer to stay that way instead of fix their old v0 code.
In the meantime, converting contrib/seg to v1 might be the best
solution.
